I have heard that from so many people I can't believe anyone still think they are "saving" money by hiring cheap unskilled labor. You may pay more for licensed contractors, but they are well worth it. I would not feel safe allowing an unlicensed worker to be responsible for the electricity or plumbing or gas lines....it is a safety issue. You got exactly what you paid for.....cheap crappy work.
Thank you.
At least you are not a sanctimonious jerk like the one I am sparring with now.
